[Verse 1]
E Amaj7 F#m7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
F#m
I never needed anything more
E Amaj7 F#m7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
F#m
"Never have I ever before"
[Chorus]
E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7 F#m7
August slipped away into a moment in time
B
'Cause it was never mine
E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7 F#m7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
B
'Cause you were never mine
[Verse 2]
E Amaj7 F#m7
Your back beneath the sun
F#m
Wishin' I could write my name on it
E Amaj7 F#m7
Will you call when you're back at school?
F#m
I remember thinkin' I had you
[Chorus]
E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7 F#m7
August slipped away into a moment in time
B
'Cause it was never mine
E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7 F#m7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
B
'Cause you were never mine
E Amaj7 F#m B
[Bridge]
E Amaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
F#m
Wanting was enough
B
For me, it was enough
E
To live for the hope of it all
Amaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
F#m
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
B
So much for summer love and saying "us"
E Amaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
F#m B
You weren't mine to lose, oh
[Chorus]
E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7 F#m7
August slipped away into a moment in time
B
'Cause it was never mine
E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7 F#m7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
B
'Cause you were never mine
[Outro]
E Amaj7
'Cause you were never mine
F#m
Never mine
B
But do you remember?
E
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Amaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
F#m B
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
E
"Meet me behind the mall"
E
(Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Amaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
F#m B
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
E
"Meet me behind the mall")
E
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Amaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
F#m B
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
E Amaj7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
F#m B E Amaj7 F#m B (6x)
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
